To this day, when people talk about time travel series Steins;Gate will almost certainly get mentioned even though it's now almost 10 years old. In the sci-fi series, the main character is a mad scientist living in Akihabara named Rintaro Okabe. One day, while attending a conference on time travel, he discovers the dead body of a leading neuroscience researcher and sends a text message to his friend about it… only to later discover that the researcher is in fact alive and that the text message he sent arrived in his friend's phone before Rintaro even sent it. When Rintaro and his friends discover that the cellphone-operated microwave that they have been working on can actually function as a time machine, they change the past only for there to be disastrous consequences.

Over the last decade, Steins;Gate has been wildly praised by fans and critics for its inventive and often time ingenious storytelling along with its memorable characters. Convinced and ready to give the series a try? Fantastic! So, where can you watch it?
